Conquer Evil

Image
  Evil eye, bad wishes-curses, black magic and black tongue works at lowest point in life. Take the name of Krsna and conquer evil.

His Word is Final

Image
Don’t judge yourself or your position in spiritual. Only the Spiritual Master or Guru knows that! His word is final.

Not With Guru

Image
Imitation is the best form of flattery, good arguments wins cases, opposition is good for democracy! But not with your GURU!

Change Now

Image
Today let's begin by changing ourselves for the better. Procrastination had seeped into our life at a very early age, when we kept on postponing getting up early for school. Our parents finally had to kick us out of bed to attend our school in time. Delaying things out of sheer inertia ruled our lives, thereafter. How can we get it all back now? We have to practice to change. Make a very great effort to change. Keep some carrots at the end to make the necessary changes. Include some stick methods if you cannot keep to your promises. Ask one of your friends or partners to keep a check on you. Keep a journal to check on your improvements. Stop giving atrocious reasons for non performances and bad results. Keep healthy ideals and good examples in front of you. Motivate yourself before the event to keep spirits high. Don't indulge in excesses but do things in moderation. Do not allow yourself any kind of concessions. Expect from yourself what you expect from others

Stop Blaming God

Image
  Why can’t humans see God’s love and compassion in a tragic situation? Stop blaming God for your own karma and just wear it out!

No More a Private Being

Image
  The moment you immerse into spiritual totally, you are no more a private being . You belong to everyone equally and impartially.

Afflictions

Image
  Afflictions are of three kinds, those which can be cured by doctor/medicine, Master /spirituality and the last only with love !

Single Lie

Image
  You can destroy a life or a lifetime of goodness by a single lie or a mean act. Strive harder and do not succumb to the devil.

Guru's greatness

Image
  No one can fathom a Guru’s greatness when he takes on every karma of his disciple on his head and suffers for it. Jesus did!

Be PROACTIVE

Image
Man proposes, God disposes, they say! Actually God anticipates, man procrastinates so destiny decimates! Be PROACTIVE.

Being LED

Image
  Tubelight works with choke and starter. Man starts work only if he is shocked and choked by destiny . Today man needs to be LED!

Steadiness is the Key

Image
success, man demands more and fizzles out soon! Better to have steady growth and not sudden blowouts!

Good Self

Image
Be your good self. Do not be mean to others, even if they are mean to you. Follow all religious injunctions. Be devoted to God.

Everything Counts !

Image
Never discount the worth of anyone or anything. A jigsaw puzzle needs every single piece to complete the picture.

Laziness Rules

Image
From standing in queue to telecalling, push button to hovering and now it’s AI, the age of Tamas dawns! Laziness Rules!

Loving Self

Image
In a dog-eat-dog world, we forget being a playful puppy and become a vicious, rabid dog. Can we not remain our cuddly loving self?

Stay Human!

Image
Scorpion stings, vulture preys, snake bites, cat hisses & dog barks! It’s their inherent nature! DON’T BE LIKE THEM! STAY HUMAN!

Absolute Faith in God

Image
Faith in God conceives miracles and sometimes miracles instils faith in the divine! Absolute Faith In God Makes Life A Miracle.

Give selflessly

Image
The sun burns out for others. Your happiness lies in making others happy. Give selflessly.

Know Your Limits

Image
Eat what you can digest. Be it knowledge, work, money, food or relationships-know your limits! Lust and greed will ruin you.

Carpe Diem

Image
Destiny may not give you a second chance. Grab opportunities as they come. There may not be a tomorrow!

Not The Same

Image
Have you wondered why the Shrewsbury biscuit not taste the same at any other place other than that old Kayani’s? The dal made by you has never tasted like your mothers, even though the ingredients and the recipe is the same!Let us understand the reason why! Once a great saint was asked a question by his disciple about some old sutra. He asked her to read the English litoral translation of the sutra telling her that he couldn’t read and understand Pali. She became indignant and asked him,”if you cannot even read the sutra how can you even tell us the meaning of it?” He answered her that by reading a map you cannot reach the destination, whereas an uneducated person just by his inner knowledge reach there even though he cannot read the map. The essence of any teachings can never be got by reading some texts or reading the explanations in a text. I was reading an article today on the net where a question was asked to a saint as to why should we attend satsang and not read the holy books

Empower Yourself

Image
‘Be good to yourself,’means empower yourself. Only when you feel empowered can you empower others. Help yourself,then help others!

Don't Be A Fool

Image
When two IDIOTS are talking/arguing on subjects they know nothing about, don’t be a FOOL and interject or give your viewpoints.

Generosity

Image
We demand things from God and few offer others what they get. It is only giving that matters! Give and you will get more. Share!

Let's Be Silent!

Image
In spirituality, we practice discretion and not excretion from the mouth. Let’s be silent!

Why Do You Test Me Always?

Image
This question was asked me by my disciple today and the answer I gave is written here. Someone stands first in all exams and wins a lot of accolades in life goes on to become a great doctor with brilliant foreign degrees and a success in the medical field. On the other hand a mediocre person who is passing because of his low caste and big pull and who becomes a doctor…now you think if you have to undergo a major surgery,then whom will you entrust it to? Obviously, the one who is a deserving candidate would be the first example. You have to pass through very difficult tests in life to become a jewel and shine bright. Just like the golds purity increases when it has to pass through fire many a times. We are put through various tests in life to make us stronger and stronger. To be able to withstand all the problems associated with life, we go through terrible fires of fate. We have to become as perfect as we can be to be closer to God. He wants to entrust you with his devotees and if you

Adiyaen-U define Me!

Image
To my Dearest Adiyaen, I am extremely touched by your acceptance,not knowing what it meant,Adiyaen-humble Disciple!As Shri Ramanujacharya was to His Supreme Guru! I have known from the start that a teacher is not a teacher till she has a student facing her. It is always the student which defines the teacher and black defines white, so also evil defines good. God would not be God if there was no devil to define Him. That clearly shows if there is no contrast then the object cannot be seen at all. Without a shadow we can never know that there is light or an object. Without maya we can never understand God, without the MIND we cannot understand God ! What is MIND?M-I-N-D! M means Maya – that which deludes us at all times.Making us think that the shadow has an independent existence and is there only because of itself. I means I or Ego – that which makes us think that I am the doer and not someone else.You think that you got the job or education because of I ,me and myself!!!I make money,

Trivakra Kamana

Image
Krsna and Balarama met Kubja while they were entering the megapolis Mathura, ruled by the King Kamsa. She was kind enough to share with the two handsome divine lads the perfumed ointment which she was specifically carrying for the King. Krsna promised Kubja that once His work was over, He would return to pay her debt back. How was Kubja to know that she was going to turn into a beautiful swan at the hands of The Lord? Krsna returns back to Kubja, after the defeating and killing Kamsa and establishing the throne back to His rightful grandfather. He meets Kubja and looks at her body. It was bent at three places so she was also called as Trivakra. Krsna lifts her chin so that she could straighten up and she loses her ugliness and becomes a beautiful woman. Krsna then consummates with her and returns back to the kingdom. When He was asked the reason for such an uncalled action, Krsna tells Uddhava about Trivakra’s past life and His reasons for doing what He did. Minakshi was her orig

Geet Govind Dilemma

Image
One day, Jayadeva was upset when it came to a point that Krsna was supposed to apologize to Radha and touch her feet, so he stopped writing. Jayadeva is the author of Geet Govind, a beautiful love tome written about Radha and Krsna . The Lord touching Radha’s feet would amount to blasphemy, he thought. He decided to go and take a bath so that he could dwell on it. He goes to the river for bathing. Soon he returns and goes inside his room. He comes out quickly and again tells his wife that he will go to the river. Later, Jayadeva returns home and goes to his room to find that someone has written on the pages and completed it. He comes out and confronts his wife asking her who wrote that Krsna touched Radha’s feet and asked for pardon. His wife says that you came back and did and again went for bath. But Jayadeva had not written those words, then who could it be? Jayadeva realizes that only Krsna would have come and done what was needed. So you will find that Krsna Himself endorsed

General Disbelief

Image
Ramakrishnaji said-People do not trust a man when he speaks of God. Even if a great soul affirms that he has seen God,the average person will not accept his words. He says to himself-“If this man has seen God, then let him show God to me”. But can a man feel the pulse of another person in one day. He has to go to the doctor to distinguish the different pulse for many days. He must stay in the company of those knowledgeable ones….. With the mundane knowledge that the general public has can they judge the knower of Truth ? The reason for disbelief is because they have absolutely no clue of what they are looking at. It is the way an aboriginal who found a Coke bottle and wanted to return it to the Gods from heaven-remember the movie-The Gods Must Be Crazy! Now how can someone who has never seen a Coke know what it is? Likewise the ones who have absolutely little or no knowledge feel that the one who speaks of God is wrong and do not trust him. They have false knowledge about that so they

Being A Teacher/Guru

Image
Why is it tough being a teacher/Guru? Why is teaching so difficult? Why are teachers treated so much with disrespect? Why is teaching as a profession frowned upon by everyone? Why are teachers paid so less for their services? What incentive is left for someone to become a teacher? I remember during my school days I had a very strict headmistress and everyone was afraid of her. She always carried a thick flat piece of wood which we called a telephone. She used it to thrash anyone who committed some crime or misdemeanours in class. It fell on our knuckles or our behinds and what a whack it created. We were all so much afraid of this drill Sargent. Later on, in college the teachers or lecturers read from books and asked us to read solved question papers. They never taught us anything at all. We had to attend separate outside classes to know the subject. But the main focus was to get good marks in examinations so everyone studied only the solved question papers of previous years. Students

With You Forever

Image
Every time you forget about me, I remind you in a very subtle way that I am with you. Haven’t you noticed that your most favourite songs will play up suddenly? Haven’t you noticed the weather will change suddenly into a salubrious one? Haven’t you noticed the movies that will remind you of me will play on tv? Haven’t you noticed the birds will start singing on trees nearest to you? Don’t you pay attention that I am trying to get to you by blinking at the street corner through the street lights and the back of the bus panel with enticing messages? When you are sick and tired I offer you a lift home through an unexpected means of transport. When you are standing in queue the people in front just melt away and the attendant is extra nice to you. You do not have to ask for the best seat, you will always get it! You wish for food and it arrives right in front of you suddenly. You think of a close relative and the phone rings and find her on line. You have not met an old friend and he sends

Give Concessions

Image
Should we give concessions to ourselves or others for committing small or big morally wrong actions? Does the universe allow a little bit of leeway for these discrepancies? When I was a kid I had heard a beautiful story. There is a young man about to be executed and he is asked his last wish. He says that he would like to see his mother for the last time. When his mother comes near him, he bites her ear off. When he is asked why he did that? He answers that when I started to do small crimes, my mother never said anything at all. Then emboldened I started to do bigger and bigger crimes. Today, I am being executed for a heinous crime. I wouldn’t have reached this stage in my life, if my mother would have pulled my ear and stopped me doing wrong then. Thus this story brings us to the light how we do things in life. We give ample concessions to ourselves and our children. Everyone agrees that smoking cigarettes is injurious to health, so should we allow even a single concession to a perso

Destructive Practices

Image
Why are we moving towards destructive practices? Why are we torturing the cows for the milk? Why are we having problems of disposing off our waste? Why are we exploiting the earth and now wanting to go outside our world to explore opportunities there? Where does this all begin? Why are we so maniacally dispositioned towards self destruction? After watching the horrible YouTube video “Dairy Is Scary,” someone asked me the reasons for such destructive tendencies. I said that it all starts with us. Rather, it is all about you! Let us see how it all begins with you in the first place. Do you have dairy products all the time? Do you consume cheese, butter, ghee, milk, chocolate, latte and so on? You actually consume so much of it per day that the milk producer gets to multiply his profits multifold so that he can supply you more and more such stuff. Now that means getting more productivity from the source itself. Which means he has to milk his cows dry by whatever means. So he uses methods

Where Is The Mind?

Image
Where is the mind? Where do you think is the mind? Is it somewhere in your head or is it the brain? Is it the heart or any other part of the body? No one has the real idea but most of the people believe that it is in our heads. In India, if you were to ask a person where is the mind, he will answer you very peculiarly. He may point out towards his heart. Indians call mind as munn or mun! The mun is believed to be near the heart. So if a westerner was asked, he invariably points towards the brain or head. Let me tell you where the mind is. Mind is called one of the bodies according to Hindus and Buddhists. Mind is supposed to carry data about all the things from this life and even the past in the form of memories and tendencies. I have just suggested two but it has more than that. Coming back to the location of the mind, it is everywhere right across the body. From the head to the tip of your toe. Are you surprised to know that? Let me give you an idea. Everyone believes when your litt

Spiritually Illegitimate

Image
Why is spirituality considered as illegitimate and a despicable profession? Tell someone that you are a spiritualist and they look at you in derision. They wonder how you could think of what you are doing as something worth pursuing? It is supposed to be a profession of the lost causes in this world. Look at how you are treated by everyone around you? Tell your relatives or friends about it and they ask you whether you have any other legitimate job or business! I have faced this situation everywhere and I can tell you a lot about it. My in-laws asked me why I couldn’t take up a full time job somewhere and provide for the family. My friends looked at me in awe and asked what happened to my years of experience in other professional fields and if I couldn’t do some sort of a part time work somewhere to earn a decent living and look after my supposedly starving family. The wife hoped that I could be of help in business and provide definitive inputs which could lead to earning a decent amou

Become Comfortable

Image
To become comfortable in the uncomfortable, writes one of my devotees. I disagree with that. Man tries hard to become comfortable in the uncomfortable and then complacent soon enough. Whether it is the job, home, marriage, place, position, diseases or death. I had often wriggled myself in the fourth position of a three seater bench in a train from my hometown while going to work. You should see the videos of people pushed into a train while closing doors by the conductors. They are all packed like sardines going to work. Now imagine doing that for many many years to earn a living. Ask anyone who travels down the tube or metro rails. It all starts as a simple compromise during your childhood. Mom says that we are poor people and cannot afford the luxury of a rich man’s home so we have to make do with whatever we have. We have to be happy and content and not complain about it. We can see her getting beaten up by dad who always sits with his bottle. Seeing John Travolta suffer his youth i

Love Thyself

Image
The term Love Thyself or love yourself is a highly misused term. It does not mean to act selfishly and only bother about yourself. It doesn’t mean to hate others or not bother about them. It also does not mean that you have to pamper yourself to death or become overindulgent. Here I will explain the meaning of the words but have some patience with me since I am going to take a very roundabout route to get there. So hang on. It is believed that God lives within us. But if you were to read any spiritual text, it is mentioned therein that God doesn’t actually live within but an essence of that is somewhere within. Man is supposed to have been made in the image of God. Every human being believes that small kids are godly and some old sages or saints are also divine. Then the idea that God lives within is very vague. We are humans comprising of elements which can be seen, heard, touched and so on. They are broken down by the spiritual texts as water, earth, wind, fire and air. Now, they

So Confused

Image
Why is man so confused while making decisions in life? Why does he lose focus about things that really matter the most? Instead of attacking the main subject, why does he behave so irrationally? A man has a very bad childhood, where he is never accepted at all by his own blood parents. He is always blamed as a mistake and is told that they should have aborted him. He is made to feel like a terrible miscast. Later on he is given for adoption but the scars runs deep. He focuses on other things to get to a better position. Then he behaves erratically with his own children and people around him. He abuses his own kids and wife. His employees and servants too feel his uncontrollable wrath. A wife undergoes severe beatings and physical torture at the hands of her husband. There is no love or compassion in the marriage. Every single day is a torture. She dreads him coming home and she believes that sleeping next to him is the highest form of punishment that she is getting from god. Life bec

Changes And Disruptions

Image
Sudden changes and disruptions creates chaos in life. Gradual and systematic alteration in any system takes years to change the fabric of that system. Sometimes man has to do a drastic and disruptive action to move far ahead exponentially. In India, we have the political system which doesn’t allow big movements since we are the largest democracy. Everything has to be done by consensus and public support. Yet, the current government was disrupting everything by introducing sweeping changes. Take the case of demonetization, hardly anyone was consulted before taking the steps. It put the entire nation in a big shift. What good it has done to the nation can only be told much later, but still it happened. In another country, namely the USA, a new incumbent has started a movement which is bringing about tremendous upsets. The President of USA has promised dramatic changes which requires complete disruption. He is issuing orders which are not going down well for some people. Yet, he is going

Making Judgements

Image
Man is habituated for making judgements on others. He loves jumping to conclusions even though he has absolutely no idea of the truth about the other person. We love to arrive at our biased conclusions even before we have gathered enough facts about another human being . I am reminded of an ad which appeared for some phone company where the woman is speaking at a nearby table holding her hand near her ear. At another table an older gentleman who looks at her thinks that she is talking to him. In fact she was talking into her phone which was a very tiny instrument cupped in her hand. Here the gentleman who thought that she was talking to him, is like us who don’t know the entire facts and just think what our little mind exaggerates to us. Imagine someone whom you don’t like from the bottom of your heart is about to say something and you suddenly interject and cut him off dissing him right at start. Wouldn’t you like to know what he was going to speak? No! You never even allowed him t

I Am Hurt

Image
I am hurt at what he had to say about me! After so many years also, he doesn’t think that I am good enough. Why is it always, that I have to be at the receiving end? I have done so much for him and yet he says that I am no good. I feel that I have given everything to this relationship and yet I am being told that I am not doing anything at all. I spent all my youth and prime time of my life building this relationship and in one stroke it is destroyed. Today, I feel so used and I know I will never be able to get back into the same space once again. It’s a lost cause. I am being blamed for all that has happened. Where did I do anything at all? I am the one who was covering up all the loopholes and loose ends in life. I took all the crap and kept quite all the time. I knew what was good for this bond but here I am right in the middle of the crossroads and nowhere to go. I feel cheated and robbed off everything that I owned. He has taken everything away from me even though I was an equal
